Mistica Foods LLC

Mistica Foods LLC, doing business as Mistica, manufactures cooked and frozen protein commodities for the Department of Agriculture's domestic food assistance programs as a prime contractor exclusively. The company is a small disadvantaged business based in Addison, Illinois, structured as a limited liability partnership, competing predominantly under small business set-asides and unrestricted full-and-open solicitations on a firm fixed-price basis.

Mistica's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Agriculture, where it supplies pulled pork, beef patties, beef crumbles, pork chops, turkey breast, and pork loin roast to support The Emergency Food Assistance Program and related nutrition assistance initiatives. The company's NAICS footprint is dominated by Animal Slaughtering (106 of 110 awards) and PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish) across 109 of 110 awards. Representative recent work includes a $4.7 million definitive contract awarded by the Food and Nutrition Service on September 27, 2024, for delivery of cooked and frozen beef patties, pulled pork, and beef specialty patties; a $10.5 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office on January 31, 2024, for pork patty cooked packages; and a $27.5 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract issued by AMS Washington Office on December 8, 2022, for pork pulled cooked products in 2-pound packages running through September 2023.

Customer concentration is 100% within the Department of Agriculture across five sub-agencies. The Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 75 awards ($111.2 million combined potential value), and the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office holds 25 awards ($120.1 million combined potential value), together representing 100 of 110 awards. The Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office and the Specialty Crops Program account for the remaining volume. Mistica holds positions on three multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts with combined ceiling values of $32.6 million: IDC 123J1423D0081 ($27.5 million), IDC 123J1424D0047 ($3.9 million), and IDC 123J1423D0115 ($1.2 million). Delivery orders issued against these vehicles have funded the majority of Mistica's recent high-value awards, with the largest single delivery order at $27.5 million under IDC 123J1423D0081.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years (11 awards in 2022 through 15 awards in 2025), with 110 total prime awards across the source period and $340.2 million in combined potential value. Obligated spend stands at $307.5 million (90% of potential value). Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $2.5 million. Mistica performs all work without identified subcontractors, delivering commodities from its Addison, Illinois facility to USDA distribution points nationwide, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, in support of federal food donations.
